Sitting comfortably outside in the summer and relaxing, having a barbecue with family and friends or playing with the children in the open air - sounds good, doesn't it? So it's no wonder that most gardening fans can't wait to open the outdoor season. For most people, a separate seating area is definitely part of a beautiful garden. In this context, terraces are still very popular. The advantages of this are obvious. Sunken chairs that stand on open grass surfaces should soon be a thing of the past. Even lawns that have been trodden flat no longer have to be a problem. There is no question that a pretty terrace - optionally made of stone or wood - also looks great. In addition, quick access to the apartment or house is particularly advantageous when eating outside. Simply handing crockery, cutlery and groceries out the door to cover the garden table is practical and makes work easier. In order to be relatively independent of the weather, it is advisable to cover the terrace.
Anyone who decides on a terrace is inevitably faced with the question of whether it would be advisable to create it yourself or whether a company should be consulted. Execution by means of a company is certainly the most convenient, but also the most expensive variant. However, a lot of money can be saved with a little effort. One or the other will perhaps discover hidden talents in such do-it-yourself activities. And admittedly: there is something to be said for relaxing later on the terrace created through your own effort. What do you mean?
Before you get down to work, there are a few basic things that need to be clarified. First and foremost, the question arises as to which material should be used for the terrace. Would you prefer natural wood or the stone variant? Are there any alternatives to stone or Wood and what costs have to be taken into account? Which glaze is recommended for wooden terraces and should a roof be purchased? How are terrace slabs laid and what design ideas are there? You can see from this small selection that there are many things to consider before you can start the actual project.
In any case, it is important to obtain sufficient information. You will find tips, suggestions and instructions on the subject of terrace construction with us. The Hausgarten.net team wishes you a lot of fun with your building project and every success!
